I appreciate Charlene Walker Brazell's input on re-recording land deeds after the courthouse burned in 1882. I am particularly interested in early Shelby County marriage records from the the time the county was created to 1855. Each time I ask about marriage records for that period I have been told "the courhouse burned" thus the interest to quiere more deeply to discover if any charred, blackened or sooty records survived. Yes, abstracting the land deeds prior to 1900 would be a wonderful gift also.
